GagaXCupcakke 3,818 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Recently 2 artists have scraped albums because of poor lead single sales. Rihanna with Four Five Seconds Ariana with Focus Each of these artists took a break after these singles (besides Rhianna releasing BBHMM and AO) and came back with new lead singles Rhianna-Work Ariana-Dangerous Women Making a new lead single became very beneficial for Rhianna and Ariana, both of there albums became pretty successful with there new direction and lead singles. Why did this work out so well? It seems so shallow to scrap a whole album because the lead single didn't do that well, also it's really shitty to fans. BUT marketing wise it ends up working great. Will this become a trend for future artists? And what about Fergie? She released LA Love and then MILF $. Should she make ANOTHER lead single or just run with MILF $?

Blackout19 11,821 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Hmm, I still think that Gaga was not for PI. I still think that the song with RedOne was much better for a first single. i'm a powerpuff girl. ○● Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's still establishing her career and she can't afford to flop early. There's nothing wrong in trying to be as successful as much as you can. In fact, these artists need to be praised bc they scrapped an almost finished album and make an almost new one, it took them a lot of money, time and effort for sure.

PaperIz 7,346 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I think it's disgusting and commercially obsessed and honestly pathetic. If you can sacrifice your vision because the first single didn't take off, then why even be an artist? I lost so much respect for Ariana and Hillary Duff and I straight up turned in my fanart when Rihanna did it. It's deplorable Human generated art Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
